Ida, I am very much interested in what you have on the families that traveled with John Alderson to Greenbrier County, from Botetourt... thanks in advance, Patrick Kenney Phoenix, Arizona. -----Original Message----- From: Ida Lancaster [mailto:txrose@arn.net] Sent: Monday, September 04, 2000 8:30 AM To: WVMONROE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [WVMONROE] Old Greenbrier Baptist Church John Alderson was in Botetourt Co., Va. Several joined him and followed him to Greenbrier W.Va. One of the families to join him was the Morris family. They were Quarkers and turned Baptist. I think maybe the Hicks family also follwed him to Greenbrier.
